Sentera builds reseller network to over 350 agriculture store fronts

Sentera today announced the availability of its precision agriculture solutions at over 350 retail locations across North America. By broadening the reach of Sentera’s precision agriculture offering, agronomists, crop consultants, and growers can leverage critical normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data starting day one of the 2017 growing season. Early adopters immediately see the benefits of Sentera’s solutions, accurately collecting and driving in-field decisions while helping manage and interpret crop health data, and, ultimately, profitability.

“We are excited to offer our solutions through a strong and rapidly-growing dealer network, where end users find Sentera’s precision ag solutions technologically robust and simple to operate,” remarked Kris Poulson, vice president of agriculture for Sentera. “Users find immediate value in our turnkey solution, that deliver maps and streaming NDVI at the field, and high-accuracy data to cloud-based tools.”

Poulson continued, “Our integrated solution helps dealerships offer their customers a frictionless, painless precision agriculture experience. Users can be confident that data products are compatible, precise, and flow seamlessly from the sensor to analytics software and/or the cab of a tractor. No other provider delivers such a completely-integrated product.”

“This is a great milestone for Sentera and Dynamic UAV,” added Dan O’Reilly, general manager for Dynamic UAV Solutions. “We were pleased to have been chosen as the exclusive North American Distributor for Sentera’s integrated hardware solutions. By seamlessly managing drones and sensor data, then making it sharable and searchable, a commercial UAV user will increase operational efficiencies while driving additional profits to their bottom lines.”

Every User, Every OperationPoulson explains why Sentera is uniquely positioned to help dealers help their customers: “Sentera offers entry-level drones with True NDVI sensors, filling the need for precision agriculture customers who are just entering the market and want a simple yet effective tool that still provides a high-quality near-infrared sensing product. For customers familiar with remote sensing technology and looking to employ the latest advancements, the Phoenix 2 fixed-wing or Omni quadrotor drone is available, both capable of live-streaming NDVI video. All offerings interoperate with AgVault and all leading analytics tools. Our dealers offer solutions for every type of user, no matter the scale of operation.”

Any CropSentera’s solutions help growers improve the performance across a variety of fields, from specialty crops like fruits, nuts, and grapes to commodities like corn, soybeans, and sorghum.

Many agronomists and crop consultants need to analyze data from diverse fields and different growers. Universally capturing NDVI data from any crop, and using AgVault to analyze, interpret, and share the exact same data with relevant stakeholders off the farm improves the decision-making process, increasing efficiencies between the advisor and grower.

In a single growing season, Sentera’s equipment gathered over 175 terabytes of data from 8,000 flights. The company achieved a milestone of collecting more than 25,000,000 acres of images.
